Minnesota Digital Library celebrates 20 years of preservation and access

by Stephanie Hess
For over twenty years, the Minnesota Digital Library has been committed to the dual values of preservation and access. By digitizing collections from our partners all over the state and making them available via our website, we have ensured that Minnesota’s historical and cultural treasures will be saved and shared for years to come.

The Minnesota Digital Library recently added transcriptions to three sets of advertising materials that did not have them before, increasing their accessibility. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services Grants to States program.
